I M 1 I HAROLD BELL ANDING CLASS OF ‘37 WILLIAM BERTIS RINGOLD CLASS OF ' 40 LS O N Guided by the Christian character of its pres- ident, Mississippi College has this year reached a height that has never before been reached by the institution in its one hundred twelve years of history. What has been in the previous years of this college is now forgotten. We are looking into the golden future. All that this college has been, all that it has meant to its hundreds of graduates, all that it has meant to the Baptists of Mississippi, all that is dreamed of and hoped for in the future has direct relation to the brief but eventful six years of Dr. Nelson’s administration. Becoming president of Mississippi College in 1932 after a period of years of preparation for this gigantic task as a professor in one of the college departments, Dr. Nelson has endeared himself to all those with whom he has come in contact. His sympathetic ear for student prob- lems, his scholarly bearing, his tact and skillful management of all situations have been a guiding light to the student bodies of the past a nd the present. Above all these outstanding attributes, however, his sterling Christian char- ter and his unsurpassable business ability stand supreme. With his sincere Christian attitude he has held Mississippi College to the unparalleled ideal of truth and virtue. He has been an inspiration to the students to seek God and the fuller life. With his remarkable business ability he has brought the institution out of difficulties and has steered it to the high level on which it now stands. Throughout the almost superhuman tasks of bis administration, our president has remained a true follower of the Gleam — ever striving to higher and nobler goals in the years to come.

Y., where he was an All-American quarterback on the grid team, a star sprinter, and an excellent baseball player. After graduating at Colgate he assumed coaching responsi- bilities at the University of Vermont. From Vermont he went to Mississippi State College before com- ing to Mississippi College. Mercer lured him away several years ago but he soon came back to Missis- sippi College. Recognized by his contemporaries as the dean of southern coaches, he maintains a system of athletics which is absolutely amateur. It was Coach Squatty” who introduced downfield blocking to the South, and many other athletic wrinkles he has developed at Mississippi College have been adopted by the larger colleges and universities where coaches are paid large salaries to maintain a subsidized athletic system. The men that Coach Robinson has sent out from M. C. as coaches have all had unusual success and without exception they attribute that success to his ability of thoroughly teaching first the fundamen- tals and then the intricacies of the game. Coach Stanfield Dick” Hitt, the first of the famous Hitt brothers, played four years of scintillating football during the years of 1925-1929, inclusive, carving a niche for himself among M. C. gridiron he- roes. For several years he was Head of the Department of Athletics at Biloxi High School before re- turning to his Alma Mater as Assistant Football Coach. His success at coaching basketball is readily seen when in his first year of coaching collegiate basketball, ’3 7, his team promptly and decisively won the Dixie Conference Championship. His team this year has enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in the history of intercollegiate basketball at Mississippi College. Coach Melvin Landrum, another Choctaw graduate, finished his collegiate work in 1934 and stepped from his college work to a member of the coaching staff after one year. In 1937 he assumed charge of the Freshman coaching duties. In this important capacity it is his job to mould the athletically inclined men into suitable varsity material. Coach Landrum has had unusual success in fitting the first-year men for further competition. He is an astute student of all athletic games and understands sports readily. His ability as a coach is easily illustrated by the success his freshmen teams have enjoyed. [ 89 ] JH RESUME OF THE SEASON varsity Bobby Jackson Co-Captain END A good leader, a good pass receiver, and a student of the game with unusual ability to diagnose the opponents’ plays. Lamar Smith Co-Captain GUARD A good blocker and a hard fighter who never let down when the go- ing was tough. Herman Alford QUARTERBACK An excellent field gen- eral, a good blocker, and a man of unusual stamina and aggres- siveness. George Cortright TACKLE A hard tackier and a consistent player on of- fense and defense. Gene Cross center An accurate passer at center, a hard tackier, and a good pass de- fense man. Fred Green end An excellent pass re- ceiver, a good place- kicker and outstanding on both offense and de- fense. The Choctaws opened the 1937 football schedule on September 25 by de- feating the stubborn and hard-fighting Southwestern Louisiana Institute Bull- dogs on Provine Field in Clinton. Led by Hitt and Winstead, who broke loose repeatedly for long runs, the Choctaws scored a touchdown in the second quarter and another in the fourth quarter to defeat the Bulldogs 13-0. The following week-end the Choctaws traveled to Chattanooga, Tennes- see, and played the fast-stepping Chattanooga University Moccasins on the night of October 1. The Moccasins scored two touchdowns and one extra point in the first period to take the lead 13-0. A heavy rain set in during the second period and continued throughout the remainder of the game. There- fore, all subsequent offensive efforts on both sides proved futile, and the game ended 13-0 in favor of the Moccasins. On October 9 the badly crippled Choctaw team met the mighty Green Wave of Tulane University in Tulane Stadium, New Orleans, Louisiana, with no hope of winning the game. The game ended 84-0 in favor of Tulane, but this score does not give a true picture of the game. Although the Choc- taws were outweighed, outclassed, and outnumbered in reserve strength, they put up a good fight to the finish. Minus the services of Winstead, who sustained a fractured foot from the Chattanooga game, and Richerson, who suffered a broken arm from the Tu- lane game, the Choctaws met the Millsaps Majors on Saturday, October 16, t i i RESUME OF THE SEASON before a large Fair crowd in the first game of a two-game series. The game was played almost entirely on the Major end of the field with the Majors making only one scoring threat during the whole game. The Choctaws re- peatedly put the ball in scoring position, but that final drive necessary to put over a touchdown seemed to be lacking. Although the Choctaws made eight first downs to the Majors’ three, the game ended in a 0-0 deadlock. On October 23 the Choctaws met the powerful Thoroughbreds of Murray, Kentucky, who were seeking revenge for the defeat that they suffered at the hands of the Choctaws the year before. The Choctaws, at the half with the score 13-0 in favor of the Thoroughbreds, still had played a good game, but during the third quarter their defense went to pieces. The Murray backs ran wild during the third and fourth periods, bringing the score up to 43 points, while the Choctaws were held scoreless. On November 5, with Winstead back in the line-up, the Choctaws showed a new spirit when they met the Spring Hill Badgers in Mobile, Alabama. The Choctaws took a six-point lead early in the second period, but the Badgers came back fighting and the score at the half was 7-6 in their favor. They held their one-point advantage until in the closing minutes of the third period when Co-captain Bob Jackson caught a pass and raced thirty yards for a touchdown. During the fourth quarter the Choctaws just couldn’t be stopped. They scored another touchdown and were on the verge of making another when the game ended with the Choctaws in front 18-7. VARSITY Haskell Jackson tackle A rough and rugged tackle, always charg- ing hard and never giving ground. “Vic” Montgomery guard Little but fast on of- fense and hard to move on defense. He played most of the game in the oppo- nents’ backfield. Herman Newsome tackle One of the hardest tackling and hardest charging linesmen on the entire squad. “Goat” Fortenberry HALFBACK A hard runner and an outstanding player both on offense and defense. Joe Henderson tackle A fast and aggressive tackle whose useful- ness increased as the season progressed. Joel Hitt HALFBACK A triple-threat man; an accurate passer, a good kicker, and an accomplished broken- field runner. VARSITY Daviij Holland guard A good guard who compensated for his lack in weight with plenty of fight and de- termination. L. L. Richerson HALFBACK A good blocker, a hard runner and a man of unusual perseverance and determination. Garland Stewart QUARTERBACK Shifted from guard to quarterback, he filled that position very ca- pably. A quick and clear thinker. On November 13 the Choctaws suffered an upset at the hands of the flying Petrels of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Ga. The Petrels took to the air early in the game and netted two touchdowns and an extra point in the first half. The Choctaws came back fighting in the second half and time after time marched down the field only to be stopped a few yards from the goal line, and the game ended 13-0 in favor of Oglethorpe. The following week the Choctaws forgot the past and settled down to hard work for the second Millsaps game. The Choctaws entered the game minus the services of Hitt, and according to the dope bucket” were rated as the underdog by about five touchdowns. From the time the game began until the final gun sounded there was never any doubt as to the outcome. The Choctaws outplayed the Majors in every phase of the game and put across touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters. The game ended in a de- cisive 12-0 victory for the Choctaws. On Thanksgiving Day the Choctaws were defeated by the strong and hard-fighting Stetson University team in Deland, Florida. The Choctaws gained more ground than Stetson and made 14 first downs to their 8, but the game ended 14-0 in Stetson’s favor. On the following Monday the Choctaws ended their football schedule by playing Tampa University in Tampa, Florida. The Choctaws were outweighed but not outplayed, making 15 first downs to 11 for Tampa. The majority of the breaks favored Tampa and the game ended 20-6 in their favor. Glen Walker center A transfer who earned his place on the varsity squad during his first season through- hard work. Clifton Landrum HALFBACK A Sophomore of great promise, a good passer, runner, and kicker, and a very cool-headed player. Billy McGehee GUARD One of the two soph- omore Iettermen and a man who from all in- dications will become a great guard. [ 92 ] ACTION 1. In the second quarter of the second game with Millsaps the Choctaws scored for the first time this season against Millsaps, having played them in a scoreless tie dur- ing the Fair. The official can be seen giving the sign for a touch- down. Winstead is lying just be- yond No. 74 with the ball in his hands just over the goal line. The attempted extra point was no good. 2.

This is just another of those many times that the Choctaws pushed through the Millsaps line for nice gains. 4.

C., she has been unwavering in her fight to keep her athletics on a purely amateur standing. The boys play ball not because they are made to play nor because they are paid to play, but they play ball simply because they love the sports that they participate in. This one thing explains in part the well-known and gen- erally accepted fact that Mississippi College has a better spirit among her athletes than does any other college in the South. No matter how strong the opposition the Choctaws always exhibit that fighting spirit that has carried them on to victory when defeat seemed inevitable. In no other team has this spirit of clean fighting been more conspicuous than in this year’s football team. The Choctaws had a very hard schedule and many bad breaks, but in spite of it all they ended the season with the same high spirit that is always found in a team representing Mississippi College.

[ 95 ] RESUME OF THE SEASON VARSITY HERMAN NEWSOME CAPTAIN GUARD All-Dixie guard with an unorthodox pivot shot that is hard to guard. Herman brought the Choctaws out of the fire many times with timely field goals. JOEL HITT GUARD Joel was outstanding for his defensive work espe- cially for getting the ball off the backstop. He was one of the smoothest players on the team and could score if given half a chance. He made All- Dixie guard last year. eldon McPherson FORWARD A veteran forward who has seen three years’ service on the Varsity. His outstanding quali- ties were his floor work and cool-headed- ness. CLOVIS CARROLL FORWARD One of the fastest men on the team with un- usual ability to get open for a shot under the basket. E. V. WATTS CENTER A Sophomore of great promise whose ability to handle the ball and hit the basket dis- tinguishes him as one of the most valuable men on the team. CHARLES AINSWORTH FORWARD A speedy forward and one of the best long shots on the team. The Choctaws launched their basketball season this year with a far brighter outlook than they have had in years. Led by Captain Herman Newsome, All-Dixie guard, and coached by Dick Hitt, who became Var- sity Basketball Coach last year, the Choctaws resolved at the outset of the season to win another Dixie Conference Championship as they did last year. The Choctaws won the only game that they played before the Christmas holidays, defeating the Hawaiian All-Stars 58-41. Immediately after the holidays the Tribe took a short trip to Mem- phis where they defeated the fast and experienced Memphis Y team 46-43. From Memphis the Choctaws came down to Tupelo where they lost two hard-fought battles to the East Tupelo Independents 39-38 and 31-26. Back home again the Choctaws were upset by the hard fighting Louisiana College team, 35-34. After this game the Choctaws hit their stride, winning eight games straight. They defeated Birming- ham Southern 48-26, State Teachers College 33-28 and 26-24, South- western 42-29, Louisiana Normal 53-47, and Spring Hill 80-29. [ 96 ] RESUME OF THE SEASON On a trip through Georgia and Alabama the Choctaws defeated Mercer University 54-47 and 50-33 in two easy victories. Then after traveling approximately three hund red miles in one day the weary Choctaws met Howard College in Birmingham and were defeated 46-28. On the following night the Choctaws played one of their best games of the season, defeating Birmingham-Southern in their second game of the season, 69-53. Back home again, the Choctaws met the world champion Celtics before a capacity crowd in the city auditorium in Jackson. The game turned out just as everyone expected; the Celtics won 47-41. The next game was played in the Buie Memorial Gymnasium at Millsaps College where the Choctaws met the highly touted Millsaps Majors in the first of a four-game series. The Choctaws took an early lead which was never overcome by the Majors and the game ended 41-29 in favor of the Choctaws. VARSITY CLIFTON LANDRUM FORWARD One of the two Sopho- mores on the squad with promise of be- coming a great player � n the next two years. WILLIAM EAGER CENTER William could alwaya be depended upon to play a good game. He could hit the basket accurately on long shots as well as crip shots. Editor’s Note: The accounts of the remaining games of the season cannot be given in the 1938 Tribesman because of the necessity of getting the copy in to the printers for an early delivery. — J. D. TOMMY CHANNELL GUARD One of the most con- sistent scorers on the team whose specialty was a one-handed pivot shot. HASKELL JACKSON GUARD A good defensive play- er who could always be depended upon to do his best. DAVID HOLLAND GUARD David had a good eye for the basket on long shots and he added much to the reserve strength of th e team. L. L. RICHERSON FORWARD “Rich” was a hard fighter and a good player on defense as well as offense. TENNIS VARSITY GROUPS BASEBALL BASKETBALL VARSITY GROUPS TRACK TRACK James Hitt and Jack Dear did the iron man work for the Tribal forces during the track season of 1937, capturing practically all of the first places that were won by the Choctaws. Though the Redskin cindermen came out on the short end of all three meets of the season, they showed the old characteristic punch and drive on all three occasions. Coach Hitt was tremendously short of dash men and lacked veterans for the field activities. In addition to James Hitt, who scored practically all of the short points, the one bright spot in the Choctaw camp was Jack Dear, lanky middle distance runner, who initiated his first year at Mississippi College by making his letter in the very first meet of the season. The Choctaws were handicapped because of the lack of track to take their work on, but in spite of that disadvantage they held their own. Only two first places were won in the first meet of the season against Southwestern of Memphis. James Hitt took a first in the high hurdles with Burnette coming in third, and Jack Dear opened up with a win in the two-mile race and a second place in the mile. JACK DEAR HERMAN ALFORD GENE BURNETT TED McCULLOUGH KENNETH McCULLAR BERGEN BUTLER [ 100 ] TRACK In Ruston against Louisiana Tech the Choctaws were completely swamped, but broke through for four first places. Butler, also a first year man, took the honors in the half-mile. Jimmy Hitt again took first in the high jump and Jack Dear captured first places in both the mile and the two-mile races. Next on schedule were the Birmingham-Southern Panthers. This was the closest meet of the season with the Chocs checking up short in the field events to barely lose the day by five points, 66-61. Hitt was again high scorer with eleven points, taking first in broad jump, tie for first in high jump, and third in low hurdles and shot put. Again Jack Dear stretched out his powerful legs to take winning honors against stiff competition in the mile and the two-mile. Weems scratched for a first in the javelin and Ishee took first in the half-mile. While Ferguson was taking a second in the javelin Burnette won second in the low hurdles. Kenneth McCullar took first and his letter in the 440-run with Butler right on his heels. The Mis- sissippi College relay, McCullar, Ishee, Butler, and Ringold, won the last first place of the meet. Hitt and Dear journeyed over to the S. I. A. A. meet and placed in the finals to bring the curtain down on a defeated but trying season. L. L. RICHERSON REGIE WEEMS NARON FERGUSON BERT ISHEE ROPEYE ' 1 STEVENS JOHN McCALL BASEBALL The Choctaw Baseball Team of 1937, led by Captain Tip” Bailey and coached by Coach Stanley Robinson, had a comparatively successful season, winning six games and losing eight in intercollegiate competition. The Choctaws got off to a bad start in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, losing a double- header to the Louisiana State University Tigers, 6-0 and 4-0. In the next game at Brookhaven the Choctaws were completely routed by the hard- hitting Illinois College team by the overwhelming score of 13-0. In the first of a two-game series with the Auburn Plainsmen at Auburn, Alabama, the Choctaws took a 4-0 lead in the first inning and held this lead until Auburn scored six runs in the fourth inning. The Choctaws tied the score at 6-6 in the seventh inning only to let the Plainsmen eke out 7-6 in a thrilling finish. The Plainsmen took the second game 6-1. The Crimson Tide of Alabama downed the Choctaws in two one-sided encounters, 7-0 and 12-4. As the season passed the midway mark, the Choctaws seemed to find themselves R. P. BAILEY, JR. Captain PERCY REEVES TRUMAN MARLER DICK EDMONSON Captain-Elect RAY ANDREWS JULIAN KALINOWSKI [ 102 ] BASEBALL and exhibited a fighting spirit that had been lacking during the greater part of the season thus far. In the first of a four-game series the Choctaws slugged their way to a twelve-run total while the Majors of Millsaps were kept completely under control by Fred Green who allowed them only one run. On the following day Percy Reeves kept the situation under control as the Majors were again taken into camp by a score of 7-5. In the next game the Choctaws met the Delta State Greenies at Cleveland. The Greenies were held to one run by Green while the Tribe hammered out 17 runs. The Choctaws scalped the Majors two more times in Jackson with Green winning the first game 6-1 and Reeves winning the second game in a smashing 11-0 victory. In the final series of the season the Choctaws met Louisiana Tech at Ruston, Lou- isiana. The first game developed into a mound duel in which Green held the upper hand, winning 4-3. Louisiana Tech won the second game 8-5. JAMES McCOLLUM FRANK BLACKWELL OTHO WINSTEAD HASKELL JACKSON ARNOLD HEDERMAN GEORGE CORTRIGHT MANAGERS FRESHMAN FOOTBALL i THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Athletic Council is an organ designed to coordinate three very important phases of the life of Mississippi College. In its membership is in- cluded the three members from the coaching staff, four representatives chosen from the faculty, and three members selected from the student body. Parallel with the Council’s primary function of as- suring cooperation among these three departments is the specific privilege of making recommenda- tions each year of those athletes to receive the varsity M” and freshman numeral in the various sports of the campus. Because of its designated authority to make recommendations for the recog- nition of athletic excellence, the Athletic Council ranks near the top among the Committees and Councils of Mississippi College.

This organization, with its membership consisting of those who have won a Varsity M” in any of the major sports, the managers of these sports, and the Senior Cheerleader, is recognized as a great factor in perpetrating the college spirit among the students. By promoting a program of clean sports, wholesome character-building, high ideals, and rigorous training, the M” Club is producing many real” men who are taking their positions for the improvement of society. Considering all angles, membership in this organization is deemed the greatest honor that can come to an athlete. larly gratifying is it to the leaders on the Mississippi College campus to present to the Stu- dent Body, the Faculty, and their friends those who are near and dear to their hearts.
